The Letter Received by President Cleve-
land In Behalf OF the Anarchists.
New YORK, October 29.-The nature OF
the Anarchist communication received by
Mr. Could may be judged by the following
letter received ut the White House yesier-
day addressed TO President Cleveland
THE HAGUE, HOLLAND, Oct. 10.
"70 the President OF the United States:
"Che Council General OF the social DEM
Ocratic federation in Holland, feeling in
diguaut at the infamous Judgment OF the
Illinois Supreme Court in the case of
the Chicago anarchists holds that
the throwing of a bomb in the
meeting held May 4, 1886, was provoked
by an outrageous assault OF the police upon
the peoples right offIee speech. Further
more, as the thrower of the bomb is not
known, the charging of the seven snarch-
lists with the guilt OF this act is essentially
arbitrary, and the OutgTowth OF class
hatred"
"There ore, the social democratic feder-
alton of Holland, in the name of humanity,
liberty and Justice, protest against the
sentence OF death passed upon the Chicago

GOULD FRIGHTENED.
He Wants to be Out of America When the
Anarchists are Executed.

He Wants to be Out of America When the
Anarchists are Executed.
NEW YORK, October GA curious
story is going the rounds to the effect that
Mr.. Gould is particularly anxious to leave
the country at this time and he abroad
especially on the 11th of November, the
date upon which the condemned Anarchists
are to be hanged in Chicago.
There appears to be no doubt that the
execution will take place, aud for this the
Anarchists are said to hold Mr.. Gould
chiefly responsible. They have fixed upon
him as the man who, by bold and liberal
use of his enormous money power could
stay the hand of Justice and prevent what
they look upon as the slaughter of martyrs.
Absurd as this notion is, it is claimed
they have not hesitated to act upon it bold
". At first Gould was approached in a
neutral rather than threatening manner.
The reliance Of the Anarchist brotherhood
upon his great power, and upon his exer-
else of il in their behalf, was set forth in
mysterious communications, which he re-
ceived sometimes by mail and sometimes
BY the hands of furtiye messengers in the
street.
Latterly the warnings have been of so
decided character and so explicit in their
terms that Gould, who is naturally man
of timid disposition, became thoroughly
frightened, and began somewhat hasty
preparation for long continued pleasure
trip to Europe.
His departure to-day is believed to be
chiefly due to an entire and natural will
irgness to pass the day of the anarchists
execution somewhere remote from the reach
of any possibility of their insane mis-
doings.

WHITNEY SICK.

The Secretary Unable to do any Work,
Nervous PrOstratleD.
WASHINGTON, October 29-The fact
was made public at the Navy Department
to-day that Secretary Whitney has for two
weeks been unable TO open even u private
letter, and that be is temporarily entirely
disqualified for work by severe and con-
slant headaches, aggravated by any mental
application.
1t is stated that: Secretary Whitney,
although not suffering from any disease,
is forbidden by his physician from under
taking any work for a time. For the past
year the Secretary has bad troublesome
headaches, which have grown more and
more severe and frequent until now he is
unable to work. For the past two weeks
he has not been able even to read his let
ters, and although he had accumulated
some OF the materials he has not written
word of his annual report, and there is no
prospect that he will be able to prepare
one. The Secretary has no disease, the
trouble is only with his head. The physi-
clan states that with the necessary rest
the Secretary will be perfectly we'll again.
How long rest will be required will ap-
pear after little time.
1t is Mr.. Whitney's purpose to go from
New York, where he now is, TO LenOx, or
some other place, where he can find quiet,
rest and prospect of recuperation. In the
have been organized as board
TO cooperate with acting Secretary Har-
mony in the management of the depart
ment. 1t is conceded that weeks and pos
sibly months may be required for the Sec
retary s recovery, but it is positively stated
that he will not retire from the Cabinet.

NEW YORK, October 29.-About 10
o oclock last night young man, aged about
81 years, dressed in the garb of an Ameri-
can district telegraph messenger, presented
himself at the residence of Mr.. Joseph
Wechsler, OF the dry goods firm OF Wechs-
Ter aud Abrahams, of Brooklyn, at No.
800 Washington avenue, in that city. To
the eservant who opened the door he handed II
small package addressed to Mr. Wechsler.
That gentleman not being at home the
package was carried to Mrs. Wechsler.
On opening she found within two small
boxes one of which was made Of paper,
and the other ofwOod The latter had
sliding top and she attempted TO open it,
She had only pulled the tops little,
when there was sudden explosion, and
she sprang to her feet screaming with
pain, while her boy joined her with his
cries. The servants rushed into the
room and found Mrs Wechsler in
a terrible condition. Her face and
hands were badly lacerated and
She was almost blinded. The boy too
was rolling about the floor in agony from
the pain caused by the lacerstion Of his
face and hands An examination showed
that the faces of Mrs. Wechsler 0nd
her son were filled with small pieces OF
metal which had been driven into them
by the force of the explosion.
The boy, while painfully hurt, is not
considered to be in any danger, but in the
case of Mrs. Wechsler it is feared that
lockjaw may set in and that her death is
certain. The most careful and minute ex-
animation failed to disclose any trace Of
the explosion. The police are un-
able to say or even to guess what it
was. There was no sign ofany machinery
to have worked an explosion and none Of
the little bits of metal, about similar to
those which we're driven into the face Of
Mrs. Wechsler and her son. Where
the explosive and the pieces of
metal were kept is thorough
puzzle. The only reasonable explanation
offered was that some new kind Of chem
ical compound had been used. While Oc-
eupying a smell space il has tremendous
force, and is exploded by a slight friction.
The boxes will be thoroughly and care
fully examined to-day by experts, and 1t
is possible that something may yet be
found which will lead 10 the discovery Of
Just what the explosive was.

TIGHTENING AROUND MORGAN,
Important Testimony Against the Prisoner
Yesterday.
IMPEACHING A WOMAE'S EVIDENCE.
Robinson and COughlin Connected with the
Crime.

CLEVELAND, October 29.-Some good
evidence for the prosecution was given by
witnesses, called in rebuttal at the trial
of Blinkey Morgan to-day at RaveDna.
Carl Grimm, who keeps saloon in this
city, was called. He said he knew Tom
Story, the expressman, who hauled the
stolen furs from Cleveland to Bedford.
He continued: HE was in my place on
Saturday, January 30. just after dinner;
two men were in rear room aud three
men were in the saloon. Story walked di-
rectly to the rear room where the two men
were sitting. i heard conversation be-
tween the two men and Story in the back
room. / heard them talking about the
price charged for hauling something in a
wagon.
"WhO were these two men?" asked the
prosecutor.
''One of them was the man now in Jail,
called Robinson, aud the other was the
man known as McMunn."
This is considered strong evidence, sofar
as it goes, toward connecting Robinson
with the crime. Grimm was cross-exam-
ed sharply, but could not he shaken.
Mrs. Kate Ray, the Elyria hotel keepers
wife, was again called to the stand and the
prosecutor endeavored to induce her to
state that she knew Morgan, and that he
was an inmate OF her house for a time last
winter. The witness refused to give di-
rect ansWere, and hut little satisfaction
could be gotten ont OF her.
Mrs. Sarah Schwindel, who formerly
worked at Mrs. Rays hotel, was then
called. She testified that Morgan was at
Rays hotel in January last about four or
five days; that he occupied private room;
took his meals by himself, aud was called
"Uncle Charley Morgan" by Mrs. Ray
and Percy Alden. Mrs Flanagan, also
former servant of Mrs. Ray, cOrroborated
Mrs. SchwindePs testimony regarding
Morgan. Mrs. Schwindel said that Mrs.
Ray had asked Der to 90 to Ravenna and
testify that she was cut walking with John
Cuugblin on February A last. There was
no cross examination of these witnesses,
and court adjourned until II o'clock Mon

WESTON, October 29.-One of the most
interesting cases that was ever tried at
this bar was brought to close to-day in
which DR.. Jos. Evans, commonly known
here as the Indian Doctor, obtained YER
dict in his favor. The facts of the case
are about as follows: About one year
since, the school Trustees of the village of
Jane Lew, this county, refused to admit
the child of DR.. Evans to the school on the
ground that il was not white, whereupon
the doctor sued out O msndamcs to compel
the Trustees to admit the child,
claiming that his child was eligible,
but to this claim the Board
of Trustees replied by alleging the child
to have negro blood in its veins. Upon
the trial of this issue, the burden of proof
resting upon the Trustees, they were alto
gether unable to sustain themselves hence

claims to be q Chippewa Indian, with
